Dear NJGCA Member,

NJGCA is proud to work with our valued Member Benefit Partners (MBPs) to bring you exclusive training courses and seminars to keep you "in-the-know" and ahead of the curve (and your competitors!)

1. MARC Law: Best Employment Practices
This week (Wednesday and Thursday) MARC Law will be hosting seminars on "Best Employment Practices: Strategies for Hiring and Firing Employees." Employment law compliance is among the many challenges that businesses face. In this course, you�ll learn the �nuts and bolts� of complicated wage and hours issues that govern your business including their purposes, to whom they apply and how, as well as strategies for navigating the confusing and difficult tasks of paying employees correctly, for both regular pay and overtime pay, to avoid any claims and stiff penalties that may be imposed against you, such as double the amount owed and paying the employee�s attorney�s fees. Non-compliance gets very costly, very quickly. This seminar will address the following topics to help you navigate these complex and challenging issues in order to protect your business:

The relevant NJ and federal employment laws that set the standards for paying employees;
Approaches to ensure compliance with laws to avoid costly litigations, including employee handbooks, policies and accurate record keeping; and
What to do when an employee asserts a claim or files a lawsuit.

NJGCA has hosted seminars like this in the past which focus on employee handbooks and other employee-related issues such as proper overtime pay, etc. because they are unavoidable when running your own business. In order to protect yourself and better understand employee protections in NJ and how to stay in compliance with State regulations, you need to be constantly educating yourself.

This seminar is being offered in two locations to make it more convenient for members from all over the State to attend:
